Channel 4 commissions new drama The Gathering, a youth-skewing mystery crime drama from the team behind Line of Duty.

Channel 4 has greenlit a new drama, The Gathering, from the production company behind Line of Duty.

The show - from acclaimed writer Helen Walsh - follows Kelly, a talented young gymnast with ambitions of joining Team GB who finds herself the victim of a vicious attack during a beach rave one night.

An investigation ensues to find the culprit - was it one of her teen friends, or could it have even been one of their parents?

Caroline Hollick, C4's head of drama, said: "Through this absorbing story, with Helen's beautifully drawn, real and relatable characters, the series looks at how family, friendship and aspiration is influenced and shaped by the highs and lows of modern-day parenting.

"Exploring relevant and urgent themes around what it means to be a teenager, as well as a parent today, The Gathering is cleverly wrapped up in a compelling 'whodunnit' thriller, where the stakes are upped episode after episode."

The six-parter is expected to air on Channel 4 next year.
